jk's picture place

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

it's 2012 - the final year of humanity, allegedly. people with smartphones like to take pictures with them, and those of us who like food like to take pictures of our meals and upload them onto various social media outlets for the world to see. i, myself, do it here, here, and here.

i visited my brother in chicago recently, and every day was a feast (of sorts)... this is my photo story.(please click on the images for more detailed information.)

upon arrival, my brother took me to dinner at longtime chicagoan roger ebert's favorite - steak 'n shakeafter the 5 hour plane ride, 1.5 hour train ride, and the 30 minute bus ride to get to this place, i was a little out of it and forgot to take a picture of my actual meal when it came out (which wasn't the fritos chili cheese steakburger, unfortunately). in case you're interested (which i can only assume you are since you're taking the time to read this post), i had the guacamole steakburger and a chocolate-covered strawberry shake.

while trying to walk it off...day 6: dinner at crispday 7: dinner at café hoangday 8: lunch at hot doug'sday 9: snow day. we decided to spend the day indoors. our hamburger helper dinner could only be complemented with my own special dessert - salted twix.it really did snow.even these pigeons thought it was too cold to venture out.finally, my trip had come to an end. on my last day, my brother and i revisited crisp (it really is a great place for korean-style chicken), and then i returned the way i came.

it has been nearly a year and a half since i've posted on this site. various smartphone-friendly social media channels and life in general have made me neglect it. but i haven't forgotten, and i promise to bring more.
